My good friend tony_cliff has written an excellent entry calling out 'fine art.' Preach it, Tony!

Then, just when I thought I had settled in, I read a surprisingly insightful article on rednecks and was reminded that this is a completely foreign country.

I have thought of that, but I think I'd be lonely up there (though, same with moving anywhere) and I don't know *anything* about Canada, whereas I do know a little bit about England. But I did think of going to the Vancouver Film School for a while.

I live in Phoenix right now, though, so pretty much anywhere is going to be freezing in comparison. I even think California gets cold. I grew up in Colorado and I'm not really a fan of snow. :\

Canada is basically a hybrid of the US and the UK ... a bit like if the Colonies never declared independence, plus some French.

Okay, you're never going to get anywhere as hot as Phoenix (part of why I love it!), but Victoria (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoBHLCfpSZA&feature=related) is lovely and Osoyoos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osoyoos,_British_Columbia) is practically a desert!
